Abstract

To make it possible to make impact absorption at the time of a collision even when there is no sufficient space. [Solution] An impact absorption member according to the present invention includes: a member that is placed adjacent to an exterior material 110 of an automobile and in which a height in a direction orthogonal to the exterior material is larger than a width in a direction along the exterior material in a cross section orthogonal to an extending direction of the member. By this configuration, a first member 122 and a second member 124 are arranged so as to extend in different directions and be adjacent to the exterior material 110 of an automobile, and therefore impact absorption at the time of a collision can be made even when there is no sufficient space.

Dependent claims

An impact absorption member comprising:

a first member extending in a first direction;
a second member extending in a second direction different from the first direction and crossing the first member;
and
a cross portion between the first member and the second member,
the first member and the second member being placed adjacent to an exterior material of an automobile,
a height of the first member in a direction orthogonal to the exterior material being larger than a width of the first member in a direction along the exterior material in a cross section orthogonal to an extending direction of the first member, and
a height of the second member in a direction orthogonal to the exterior material being larger than a width of the second member in a direction along the exterior material in a cross section orthogonal to an extending direction of the second member.
